Department of Education in Iowa

Education awards tagged to Iowa

Department of Education as awarding agency, Iowa as place-of-performance: 1,611 records summing to $2,391,613,454.99. A Department of Education award coded outside IA is out. An award in Iowa from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Iowa (IA) excludes Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Missouri. A Chicago-coded award is IL even if a student later enrolls in Iowa. Elementary, secondary, and postsecondary instruments can share awarding agency 091. The packet does not split them.

One thousand six hundred eleven records is a typical Education formula-file size: hundreds of awards, not hundreds of thousands. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 1,611 as 1,611 unique enrollment, NAEP scores, or unique school districts. The overlay Department of Education in Iowa is the both-keys table. Iowa federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Education is the agency book without an IA filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

This packet does not name Title I, IDEA, Pell, Iowa State, or the University of Iowa as line items inside $2,391,613,454.99. Correlation is not causation: Iowa did not “cause” $2,391,613,454.99 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 091 × IA only.

Not a report card or enrollment ledger

$2,391,613,454.99 does not measure enrollment, NAEP scores, or unique school districts. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 091 and an IA place-of-performance tag. Elementary, secondary, and postsecondary instruments can share awarding agency 091. The packet does not split them.

Do not treat 1,611 awards as a census of enrollment, NAEP scores, or unique school districts. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Iowa federal spending or Department of Education matched $2,391,613,454.99 and 1,611, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Illinois, Nebraska, and Missouri Education joins are other pairs, not addends.
